Of the first crops that get large
enough to cut and feed out early
in May; covering as it does the
ground in winter, it protects it SO
we'll that the crop draws but little
more from the soil than i: prevents
from escaping, so the land after a
crop of green rye is very nearly as
rich as before. For this reason,
and for the reason of its earliness,
rye is considered a desirable green
crop to grow.
Hungarian makes a very good
crop to cut greer, but it soon passes
to a state of ripeness that requires
1t to be cut and made into hay
When sown thick enough to make
the straw fine, it not only makes
an excellent food while green, but,
we'll dried, 1t is rich and readily
eaten at any season. So if a farm

it for his interest to SOW an acre or
two of Hungarian every year.
Fodder corn was formerly consider

When a farmer has plenty OF

crop. The nearer farmer lives
to a city or large town the more
important it is for him to keep his
mich cows up in high condition by
feeding them during the summer,
at the barn, night and mornings :;
for in such localities he has, as
rule, a set of customers who de-
pend on him for a certain quantity
of milk or butter, whether the
weather be wet or dry; so, to keep
his customers, the farmer must
guard against short feed, which is

ATaTillG Surgical Operation
A FATAL MISTAKE.


q" THE Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
of February 2Sd, 1883, pub
lished an account Of n fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouDcing it scandalous. 1t
appears that n Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment Of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by peculiar indcscrlbablc dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold pegspiration. There
was constant tircl and Ian
guild feeling. The owed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies falling to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave thepatient's
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
Of February, 1889, the opera
ton was performed by Dr.
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, Dr. Pcrlier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwcll Of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laving open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an cXamin-
alton OF the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was 10
cancer to be found. The pa
tent did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discover that they had made
a terrible M axe; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in fcw hours. How sad it
must be fcr Che husband Of this
poor woman to Know that his
wife died from the effects ola
surgical o, raiion that ought
never 70 have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia

this was what the di..asereally
was), she would Lave Zen liv-

STORIES or THE SUPERNATURAL.

An Englishman who was recent
" in Kansas City for a few days
on a business trip dreamed one
night that he was walking rapidly
MP the main street of the village Of
Sunbury-on.Thsmes, the home of
his mother, in England. On arriv-
ing at the door of his mothers
house be saw that Grape was tied
to the knob, and that the shutters
were closed and the blinds drawn,
He related the dream to a friend al
breakfast in the morning, and then
dismissed it from his mind. In
the afternoon he received cable
gram from his brother announcing
that his mother had died suddenly
the night before.
A ghost his been performing
strange antics in the old brick
schoolhouse on Green street, in
Middletown, Conn.,, and the citi-
zens are being much wrought up
over the matter. The phantom is
supposed to be that of old Richard
Hyland, the eccentric jsnitor of the
building, who died recently, and
whose spirit now fits through the
empty rooms of the schoolhouse at
night and lights them up with un-
earthly light. People who live
near the schoolhouse have seen the
old fellow poke his grim visage
through the windows at night and
then, retiring to the tops of the
desks, dance an uncanny variance
there in the glare Of a ghostly
light. The children refuse to 60 to
the school any longer, and the
affair is to be investigated.
Mrs. Gordon's little boy, of
Cairo, Ill.,, acted strangely one
morning week ago and was put
to be. Suddenly he called to his
mother and said, "Psps has come
back" "That is foolish talk, Char.
ley,' said his mother "your papa
is dead and cannot come k."--
"But he's sitting on your chair
there and laughing at you" said
the boy. Thinking that the child
was becoming delirious Mrs. Cor
don sent for doctor, but while
the messenger was absent the little
fellow said ''Papa tells me that
John won't find the doctor at home,
and that you must now kiss me
goodbye" A moment later the
child became unconscious and soon
died, while the messenger on his
return reported that the physician
was out Of town.
The strange manifestations OF
ghostly spirits in Shelby county,
Mimi, have excited the good farm
ers living there, and one of the
wealthiestof them, Lorenzo Powell,
is preparing to abandon his home
because OF the disturbances. Some.
thing oyer a year ago his daughter,
to please him married a man she
despised, while the lover to whom
she had given her heart was for
hidden the house. Recently she
died in childbirth, and ever since
the sound of shrieks and groans
has proceeded by night from the
room which she occupied, and at
times the spirit Of the young wo-
man has come to the bedside of the
old farmer and with heart.rending
sobs upbrsided him for his hard
hearted obstInacy. Powell's wife
left the house some time ago, and
he himself, unable to endure the
strain any longer, is getting ready
to seek relief in o pew home.
